Here is a summary of the main machines that form a flux cored welding wire production line
| Machine/Process | Function & Description | Key Features / Innovations |
|---|---|---|
| Steel Strip Uncoiling & Splicing | Unwinds the raw material (steel strip) from large coils and welds strips end-to-end for continuous operation | Automated splicing enables long, uninterrupted production runs |
| Forming & Filling | Shapes the flat steel strip into a U-shape and fills it with flux (welding powder) | The core step that creates the "flux cored" wire. |
| Closing & Reducing | Closes the U-shaped strip into a tubular form and then draws it through dies to reduce its diameter to the final size | The drawing process ensures precise final diameter and compacts the flux |
| Drawing Machine | Pulls the wire through a series of dies to achieve the required diameter | Uses transition wheels to create a curved wire path, preventing wire jump and ensuring smooth, continuous production |
| Take-up/Reeling Machine | Winds the finished flux-cored wire onto spools for packaging and shipment | Advanced systems like the ACCRA WIRE F-200 can handle heavy coils and provide precise tension control for consistent winding |
